Russian Orthodox Christians have defaced the logos on Apple products because they consider the bitten Apple to be anti-Christian, says Russian news agency Interfax.

The radical Christians have replaced the Apple logo with a cross, claiming that the current Apple logo – well-known around the world and often voted one of the world’s most popular logos – symbolises the original sin of Adam and Eve and is generally insulting to the Christian faith.

The Register adds a new law is currently barrelling its way through the Russian Parliament to clamp down on religious insults, and there is speculation that

there could be commercial impact, even a sales ban, if Apple fell on the wrong side of the law.

As if there weren’t enough crazy in this story already, it’s worth remembering that nowhere in the bible is there any mention of apples. The ‘forbidden fruit’ is never named, it’s just convention (and the fashions of renaissance painting) that have led people to think of it as an apple.
